Get ready ‘True Detective’ fans! Jessica Chastian has been offered a role as one of the upcoming season two detectives. Would you like to see her join the show?

Oscar nominated actress, Jessica Chastain, might be joining the upcoming season of True Detective. Each season is filled with new characters and new crimes, so we would love to see what Jessica can bring to the table!

After eight thrilling, rapidly popular episodes, ‘True Detective’ came to an end on Mar. 9 with one of its tensest, scariest episodes yet. Rust and his less philosophical partner Marty were able to close the case that haunted them for 17 years (not without a few flesh wounds though), but did they really conquer darkness?

After a pins and needles climax in the True Detective finale in which Rust Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) and Marty Hart (Woody Harrelson) end up in Carcosa and finally take down the man who evaded them for nearly two decades, Rust sits in his hospital room — recovering from a gruesome stab wound to the gut — and listens to a news report say that authorities have denied any connection between Louisiana senator Edwin Tuttle and this massive generation-spanning web of pedophilia, abduction, and murder. But we know that’s about as far away from the truth as you can get.

The ‘True Detective’ actress took a huge leap from her ‘Percy Jackson & the Olympians’ days by filming a nude scene for the HBO show’s premiere episode, which she considered a tempting ‘huge challenge’ that she revealed she just had to go for!

Alexandra Daddario, 27, took on her most mature acting role ever, playing Lisa Tragnetti on HBO’s True Detective. For her dramatic role, she even took on the “challenge” of filming in the nude — a major departure from her famed roles in the Percy Jackson & the Olympians film series. Alexandra credits her co-star Woody Harrelson for not making the filming “awkward,” which really helped her feel comfortable acting in the nude!

While Matthew McConaughey was doling out ‘alright, alright, alrights’ at the Golden Globes on Jan. 12, he was also securing next year’s trophy over on HBO, with the premiere of his dark, gritty new crime drama ‘True Detective.’

Matthew McConaughey‘s career transformation from rom-com stoner goof to awards season staple has been mesmerizing. He continued his remarkable winning streak on Jan. 12 with True Detective, an unapologetically‎ dark, tense, and cynical crime anthology series that proved itself to be a must-watch with its premiere, “The Long Bright Dark.”
